Chapter 124 Jintan Dilemma

Author: Jian Qiuse

Sun Lian'er reminded Zhang Qian in time, "Hurry up and wrap your body with the aura of your thousand-year essence, otherwise you will not be able to breathe."

"Understood."

Zhang Qian responded, and immediately with a thought in her mind, she used the aura of her thousand-year-old essence to cover her whole body.

With this breath, it helped her filter the oxygen in the water, which made her feel much more comfortable. She no longer had the feeling of suffocation due to lack of oxygen.

But at this time, no matter how hard she swam, she could not find the bottom.

It can even be said that the golden pool seems to be boundless and never has a bottom.

Perplexed, Zhang Qian asked, "What the hell is going on? I obviously swam out after just over ten meters, but now I can't find the bottom at all."

"You understand how to break through the golden purgatory and the earth purgatory. The two purgatory will naturally hinder you. This is normal."

"Then there's nothing we can do. We have to swim back to the shore of Jintan in Jinxing Purgatory first." Zhang Qian made a decisive decision immediately.

After saying this, she turned back and swam back.

Originally, she thought that as long as she followed the route she came from and swam back, she would be able to return to the shore of the Golden Pond of Jinxing Purgatory.

But the same thing is that no matter how hard she swims, she can't see the water above her at all.

In other words, she is now completely trapped in the golden pool.

Sun Lian'er said angrily, "Don't waste your efforts. You are already trapped in the golden pool. If you don't find a way out of the golden pool, you won't be able to swim out at all."

"Fortunately, I have a thousand-year soul to protect my body. Otherwise, wouldn't I be suffocated to death in here?"

"Don't be too happy too early. The Golden Pond is the passage connecting the Golden Purgatory and the Earth Purgatory. There will definitely be no peace here. There may be something special. Once you are found by it, I'm afraid

You're having a hard time."

Sun Lian'er mentioned such a possibility.

Zhang Qian nodded secretly after hearing this, and began to turn around and look around, becoming extremely cautious.

"Buzz buzz..."

And just then, something unexpected happened!

Suddenly, there were harsh buzzing sounds in the golden pool, and undercurrents surged up with the buzzing sound, sweeping up the entire golden pool, making it extremely dangerous.

Zhang Qian was in the golden pool and was rolled around by the undercurrent. If she hadn't been protected by the powerful aura of the thousand-year-old soul, she would have been blown to pieces by the undercurrent on the spot.

At this time, Sun Lian'er's solemn words rang in her mind, "Here you go, be careful. I can't help you this time."

"What's coming?"

"Behind you." Sun Lian'er reminded hastily.

Zhang Qian resisted the undercurrent and turned around to take a closer look. She was stunned for a moment.

Just because in the undercurrent not far ahead, a large green turtle that was four to five meters tall and more than ten feet long actually swam towards her crazily with a bloody mouth open and at lightning speed.

Came over.

Zhang Qian was stunned for a moment, then she immediately reacted and swam frantically to the right.

The big turtle chased after her.

One person and one turtle started chasing each other in the golden pool.

Sun Lian'er said in her mind, "I understand, the key to breaking through the Jintan dilemma lies in this big turtle."

"What kind of monster is this?"

"It's not a monster. It has no evil or demonic aura about it. It has a very strong moral aura." Sun Lian'er explained in a solemn tone.

Zhang Qian was thinking secretly in her mind while running away.

After a moment, she suddenly frowned, thinking about what Zhang Tiande had told her before about the four sacred beasts of Taoism.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but murmur to herself, "Is it possible that this big turtle chasing me could be one of the four sacred beasts of Taoism?"

"Four Elephant Divine Beasts?"

"Yes, my second grandfather told me before that the four sacred beasts of Taoism are: green dragon, white tiger, red bird, and Xuanwu. The last Xuanwu is actually a big turtle." Zhang Qian explained calmly.

.

Sun Lian'er listened and said secretly, "Then you are considered half-Taoist no matter what. This big turtle is the Taoist mythical beast. There is no need for it to kill you, right?"

"I have no Tao Qi in my body, and I have never truly joined the Taoist family. I still have a thousand-year-old resentful soul like you in my body. Of course it regards me as its enemy."

"Then what should we do now? If you are really eaten by it, I will die too!" Sun Lian'er was anxious.

Being trapped in a thousand-year soul was not what she wanted. She was counting on Zhang Qian to find a chance to escape from Zhang Qian's body after she escaped from the Five Elements Purgatory.

If Zhang Qian is eaten by the mythical beast Xuanwu at this time, she will also die.

Zhang Qian was speechless.

Faced with such a powerful threat from Xuanwu, she had no idea for a while.

But just when Zhang Qian was exhausted from being chased.

Xuanwu was chasing after her, but suddenly stopped.

As soon as it stopped, the undercurrent flowing in the entire golden pool also became calm.

Zhang Qian hovered in the water, looked back at Xuanwu who was far away from her, and asked with confusion, "Why didn't you chase me?"

"You have a very strong connection with Taoism. Are your ancestors and relatives members of Taoism?" Xuanwu asked in human language.

Zhang Qian was stunned when she heard this. She had no idea that this big turtle could speak human language.

Of course, after thinking about it, she was relieved. The nine monsters locked in the nine realms of the Yin Gate could all speak human language. So it was not unusual for the four Taoist beasts to be able to speak human language.

The most important thing is that she is now in the Taoist Five Elements Purgatory.

Strictly speaking, this is not the real world outside, so no matter what happens here, it is a reasonable thing as it exists.

Wanting to understand this, Zhang Qian did not hesitate and immediately nodded and replied, "Yes, my Zhang family's ancestors were Taoist priests, and it has been passed down for many generations. Now my second grandfather and his generation were all Taoist priests, but my parents

In that generation, when Taoism declined, they no longer took up the mantle of their ancestors as Taoist priests. By my generation, they are basically completely alien to Taoist priests."

"Then what is the name of your ancestor Taoist priest?"

"This...I really haven't heard Grandpa Second and his generation say that." Zhang Qian replied awkwardly.

Xuanwu fell silent and stared at Zhang Qian meaningfully with a pair of huge tortoise eyes.

About a minute later, at a certain moment, as if it suddenly understood something, it swam slowly towards Zhang Qian and said to her, "You are trapped in the golden pool. You can survive alone."

If you can't get out, swim on my back and I'll take you to the exit of Earth Purgatory."

"Ah? Why are you helping me? Didn't you want to eat me just now?"

Zhang Qian was stunned!

She really couldn't understand why Xuanwu's attitude changed so suddenly.
